and Load Balancing for Impala</h2>

+

+
+      <p class="p">
+        Using a load-balancing proxy server for Impala has the following 
advantages:
+      </p>
+
+      <ul class="ul">
+        <li class="li">
+          Applications connect to a single well-known host and port, rather 
than keeping track of the hosts where
+          the <span class="keyword cmdname">impalad</span> daemon is running.
+        </li>
+
+        <li class="li">
+          If any host running the <span class="keyword cmdname">impalad</span> 
daemon becomes unavailable, application connection
+          requests still succeed because you always connect to the proxy 
server rather than a specific host running
+          the <span class="keyword cmdname">impalad</span> daemon.
+        </li>
+
+        <li class="li">
+          The coordinator node for each Impala query potentially requires more 
memory and CPU cycles than the other
+          nodes that process the query. The proxy server can issue queries 
using round-robin scheduling, so that
+          each connection uses a different coordinator node. This 
load-balancing technique lets the Impala nodes
+          share this additional work, rather than concentrating it on a single 
machine.
+        </li>
+      </ul>
+
+      <p class="p">
+        The following setup steps are a general outline that apply to any 
load-balancing proxy software:

+
+      <ol class="ol">
+        <li class="li">
+          Download the load-balancing proxy software. It should only need to 
be installed and configured on a
+          single host. Pick a host other than the DataNodes where <span 
class="keyword cmdname">impalad</span> is running,
+          because the intention is to protect against the possibility of one 
or more of these DataNodes becoming unavailable.
+        </li>
+
+        <li class="li">
+          Configure the load balancer (typically by editing a configuration 
file).

+        
+        You may want to enable compression on existing tables. Enabling 
compression provides performance gains in
+        most cases and is supported for RCFile tables. For example, to enable 
Snappy compression, you would specify
+        the following additional settings when loading data through the Hive 
shell:
+      </p>
+
+<pre class="pre codeblock"><code>hive&gt; SET hive.exec.compress.output=true;
+hive&gt; SET mapred.max.split.size=256000000;

mapred.output.compression.codec=org.apache.hadoop.io.compress.SnappyCodec;

+
+      <p class="p">
+        If you are converting partitioned tables, you must complete additional 
steps. In such a case, specify

+        Snappy compressed RCFile. Combining the components outlined previously

operations on the files

queries primarily access

codeph">fs.s3a.block.size</code>
+        to 134217728 (128 MB) to match the row group size of those files. If 
most S3 queries involve

codeph">fs.s3a.block.size</code>
+        to 268435456 (256 MB) to match the row group size produced by Impala.

immediately, but only loads the block location
